Bird, Bradshaw, Bell, Bochy should have been Bubbas

Bubba Watson’s victory at the Masters was a win for the Everyman.

Guy’s never had a golf lesson. Hails from Bagdad, Fla. Married a 6-foot-4 basketball player.

There are other Bubbas out there. And we’re not talking Smith, Paris and Trammell. We’re talking about people who fit the Bubba handle, but their parents didn’t have the wisdom to correctly name them. Here’s our list of athletes/coaches who should be named Bubba.

• Heath Bell: Not many people from Orange County qualify. But Bell, with his slow gait (except when entering a game), XXL body and nothing-fazes-me psyche is a Bubba in waiting.

• John Daly: No explanation needed.

• Bruce Bochy: When you wear a size 8+ hat and walk haltingly because of too many innings behind the dish, you’re a Bubba.

• Save for Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon, any NASCAR driver.

• Philip Rivers: “Ah shucks, I dropped back to pass and felt this big ol’ boy breathing down my backside and gosh darn it I slipped him and just heaved that sucker as far as I could. Then Holy Cow, man alive, Gates made this leapin’ catch and I thought, ‘By golly, we done scored ourselves a touchdown.’ ”

• Larry Bird: Bubba Bird. The Hick from French Lick. You tell me a basketball player who’s a better Bubba.
